Sheep
We have been trained
And conditioned so well,
Like the singing bird
We know the cage is there,
Like the elephant, the guard dog,
We know the limits of our
Flimsy chains,
We flutter and hop and pace about
Desperate in our frustrations,
We pull our beads
Say our prayers
For those who have broken
Through the illusion,
Ask for forgiveness
For our sinful thoughts
That we might do the same.
